Episode 168 - Brian Bender

Local homebrewer and longtime guest of the show join Tanner and Jared in this episode. They’ve got a few special beers to try, and they talk some of their Mainx24 plans and Tanner tries a hot sauce made from a few peppers that nearly killed him the first time.

Tanner and Jared’s original co-host, Alan Carey drops in for this episode to try a Tennessee Brew Works Beer with the face of Tim Shields on the bottle. They’re discussing this new Game of Thrones trailer, give an update on the Corntroversy, and the Rockdale Light shortage.

This episode has local comics Donnie Marsh and Charles Newby swinging by the studio. Donnie is telling us about The Lookout Comedy Festival and talks about submissions that are upcoming, and he tells us a bit about his show “Chatt Talk Tonight”. They’re also doing a comparison tasting between the Wicked Weed French Toast Imperial Stout vs. The Barrel Aged French Toast Imperial Stout.

Tori Fyfe and Jet Smith join this week to talk all about their new Chattanooga area community darkroom, Safelight District. They’re talking with Tanner and Jared about the transition into mirrorless cameras, analog film, and the wonder of Lincoln Logs.

This week Tanner is joined by local musician Lori Button, who is not country, not rock and roll, not death metal, and not rap. They’re talking about the various aspects of Social Media and it’s negative impacts, living in Florida, being a musician in various cities, and this new Cannibus here in town. She also plays a couple of her deliciously dreamy jams.

Local comedian Jon Eick swings by the show to give a pretty interesting take on the whole “Corntroversy” that’s been introduced by Bud Light during The Superbowl. They also discuss how he got into doing stand up comedy, top “old man beers” and how quickly Chattanooga is coming up.

Local comics Dave Hannah and Matt Harris swing by the studio drink drink a few pale ales and one very special maple syrup beer from Wicked Weed Brewing. They’re talking about “punt-fest 2019” otherwise known as The Superbowl, and getting into the corn syrup in beer debate that Budweiser has cranked up.

Dawn Hjelseth of the Chattanooga Breakfast Rotary Club joins this week to tell us all about Brew Skies, a local beer festival taking place in April down at The Chattanooga Choo Choo. Tanner lays out an in depth fan theory on Ace Ventura, and they discuss this outrageous snow storm we recently received.

The Show

Based out of the Scenic City, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Sit down with Tanner, Jared, and Alan for a couple of pints of good conversation, theories, and beer.
This show isn't for the faint of heart, or children. But neither is good beer. We can't promise you won't be offended, but we can promise good conversation
and (hopefully) some good beer. After all, good conversation is intoxicating.
